Michael Newman Wins Event #8 For $14,675 and Third Straight PLO Ring
Michael Newman did something unprecedented on Wednesday afternoon as he won his third career ring in the PLO event here in Pompano Beach. The remarkable thing about this victory is that he has now gone back-to-back-to-back in this same exact event for three consecutive PLO rings at Pompano Beach. Winning the same event three times running is a feat that is unprecedented in WSOP circuit history.
"It is an honor, I can't believe that I actually won the same event three times in a row. I wanted to go for the win because it's very hard to win back-to-back-to-back. I just got lucky really. Zach (runner-up) played amazing and I just got lucky that's it."
Newman took down this event back in October which he said then how lucky he was to go back to back. Little did he know he would be adding a third a few months later and a full year after winning this event for the first time back in February of 2023.
